History and origin
Yellow granites are a very widespread category on the international market, popular for kitchen worktops and floors since the 1990s. Giallo Giselle is an imported material from this family, less well known than the more classic yellows. The exact origin and appearance depend on the batches available. Marmi di Carrara supplies it on request.
Look and veining
The background is golden yellow, with light crystals, dark specks and sometimes small burgundy or brown spots. The pattern can be granular or slightly lively, with differences in shade between blocks. Polishing intensifies the yellow and the contrasts; matt finishes give a softer, sandy effect.
